Effective Jan. 27, Amtrak will restore full schedules for Acela Express, Northeast Regional, other services between Boston and Washington D.C./Virginia and points to and from the Southeast and Midwest.

Amtrak is proud to have stood alone among transportation operators – airlines and others – in continuing to operate services on behalf of our customers throughout the storm in spite of the challenges posed by the weather for our employees to continue operations.

In a message sent to co-workers, thanking the team for extraordinary effort and service, Amtrak President & CEO Joe Boardman wrote: “Preparing for storms of this magnitude is a year-round obligation. Decisions made months and years ago to storm-harden our infrastructure and rolling stock, paid dividends during this historic storm. Yet not a wheel would have turned without a dedicated and committed workforce.”

We will review our performance and look for areas to further improve. We repeat our heartfelt thanks to our passengers, our team and their families.

Amtrak regrets any inconvenience. This information is correct as of the above time and date. Information is subject to change as conditions warrant.
